It's official -- Danny Brown is no longer just a Detroit rapper, if he ever even was.

It's not just his sense of style that sets Brown apart from the rest. He's always been different -- just check out his latest mixtape. "XXX's" hyperactive ADHD rhymes abandon gangland pretenses for a video game sensibility, a wildness found in Odd Future recordings or the best of the Wu-Tang (Danny Brown could totally be in Wu-Tang).

And the adaptability of Brown's rapid, nasal, indignant delivery makes him a curiosity on every track he graces. Check out his last great effort, the "Black and Brown EP" with Detroit producer Black Milk, here.

Case in point: Not one, but two Danny Brown tracks saw the light of day this afternoon.

Nick Catchdubs, owner of Fool's Gold records (Brown's label) remixed his talent's "Die Like a Rockstar" for The Fader's X Squared Series. The skittish off-beats and mid-track breakdown add more passion to Brown's bleak original., while the womp-womp dubstep bass stays on the sober edge of Skrillex and co. He claims, "I got that Kurt Cobain kinda mindframe," and you believe him. Download it for free here.

But wait! Danny Brown's like Dr. Jekyll. All pathos just ain't his thing. Chicago rapper Kid Sister, who delivered an unbeatable set at 2009's Electronic Music Festival here in Detroit, is back with a new EP, "Kiss and Tell." Kid Sister's all grown up now, but this song still capitalizes on that wilin' out Baltimore DJ sound (popularized by the likes of Spank Rock and M.I.A.). Everything about Brown sounds different in this track -- just catch him in his animal sweatshirt, rapping about Tom Ford and Honda Accords. It's hard to believe he's the same rapper. Except he is, all in the same day. And that's why he's so good.
